Observation Report
Hello Tracy,
I would like to introduce my self. My name is Perla. I heard through a couple of friends of mine that you might think you are pregnant. I hope for your sake you are not. If you are I would like to give you some advise on the effects of alcohol and becoming pregnant. I know you like to party and go out and drink, but what I am a bout to tell you might change your mind about becoming pregnant. When you consume alcohol during pregnancy, so does your baby because alcohol passes freely through the placenta to your baby. When you drink alcohol, so does your baby. Because babies are small compared to adults, alcohol breaks down much more slowly than in a grown person. This means that alcohol remains in a baby’s blood much longer than in the blood of its mother thus leading to possible irreversible harm to the baby’s development. All drinks that contain alcohol can harm your baby. There is no known safe amount of alcohol that you can consume if you are pregnant. It is best to discuss any drinking patterns with your healthcare provider.
During the first four weeks of your pregnancy, your baby’s heart, central nervous system, eyes, arms, and legs are developing. Your baby’s brain begins to develop around the third week and continues to mature through the rest of your pregnancy. During the third trimester, your baby will be growing rapidly. If you consume an excessive amount of alcohol during these crucial stages of development, you can cause serious harm to your baby. If you choose to drink alcohol while you are pregnant, you will increase the risk that your baby will be born with a Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) are the full spectrum of birth defects caused by prenatal alcohol exposure. Up to 40,0000 babies are born with a FASD each year in the U.S.
There is no known amount of alcohol that is safe to consume while pregnant and the more you drink, the more you will increase the risk that your baby
